My husband and I were blessed with two children placed for adoption by a caring birthmother aware that she could not provide for additional children. We adopted our sweet baby girl through Social Services Agency in December 2005. Then in May 2007 we received an unexpected call that the birthmother had given birth to our beautiful baby boy - a full sibling to our sweet baby girl. My husband and I chose adoption because we are unable to conceive a child. We are so thankful that there are birthparents out there willing to give life to a child and bless families unable to have biological children. We have never met our children's birthparents, by their choice. We would be open to contact with them but they have chosen not to at this point. Luckily they have expressed that they are open to having our two children contact them when they turn 18. We received medical history from the birthparents through the Social Services Agency. We consider ourselves to be so blessed and fortunate to have the gift of two children placed with us. We have so much love to give and we enjoy our children immensely!!

I placed a baby boy for adoption 3 years ago. I was very selective through the process of choosing a couple to raise my son and went through several profiles my agency provided. Once I chose my couple, we met, talked about upbringing, beliefs, and anything else that came to mind. We kept in touch throughout the pregnancy and eventually they felt like family. I knew that I had made a good choice and felt at peace with my decision. To this day I have never second guessed my decision to do so. I couldn't stand the thought of trying to raise my son knowing that he would not know his father very well and/or be tossed to and from house holds that didn't have the same values and morals. Since marriage wasn't a possibility for us, I knew that I had to do right by my son and make sure that he was brought up in a home with a mother and father who had the same beliefs and agreed on how to raise a child. I have an open adoption, therefore I receive emails, pictures, video clips and about once a year I see my son. I have a very strong relationship with my son and his parents. I couldn't have asked for more. I recommend to those who aren't sure what to do, to look into this option, it is a true blessing for all involved.
